Defending all of this in a recent interview with four of my Times colleagues, Trump declared that he was not subject to international law or, really, any law in his conduct of foreign affairs. “I don’t need international law,” he said, “I’m not looking to hurt people.” Asked if there were any limits on his power, Trump named his conscience. “Yeah, there is one thing,” he said. “My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
